Customer Reviews

One of my childhood favorites!

My mother read this book to me and my sister as a child and I remember howling in laughter. Is there anything better than a naughty little girl who continues to get into trouble while her older brother tries to wrangle her? I have to find this book for my daughter. I can't believe that it's out of print.

Stanley and Rhoda

I loved this book when I was a kid!! I have many fond memories of it. My mother refuses to let me have my copy (she claims its hers--goes to show you she liked it as much as me!), so I came here, in search of buying a copy for a friend's child and I am shocked and upset to find that it is out of print! How could they do that?! They need to start reprinting it again. It would be such a shame for so many children to miss this funny and poignant book.

A great book for older sibs

Rosemary Wells is my favorite children's author and this is my favorite of all her books (except now that she has written a book with a protangonist named Emily I may have to change my mind). Few books make a frustrated older sibling feel understood as well as this one -- A Baby Sister for Frances is another that comes to mind -- while reminding them that being the older one is an important job. Every pair of siblings should have this one read to them.

One to remember and recommend

Stanley and his consistently befuddled sister Rhoda are memorable. This book will make you laugh at any age. It's hilarious! I read it to my younger sister, every kid I babysat while I was in high school and even took it with me to college for a little light reading.

Pesky sister, Long-suffering brother

Stanley is Rhoda's older brother and he has to look after her. He finds ways to do this and make it more fun for him. This is a really good book and I loved it as a child. It will especially please any child who has a younger sibling as I did. They will feel understanding for Stanley. This is definately one to treasure.
